Reaching a height of 4 to 5 kilometers (13,000-17,000 feet), the plume of ash from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull Volcano rises above a sea of clouds in this image from May 12, 2010.
Acquired May 13, 2010, this natural-color image of Eyjafjallajökull Volcano shows a puffball of volcanic ash towering over a lower-altitude ash plume that fans out toward the southeast.
A burst of high-altitude ash from Eyjafjallajökull Volcano on May 4, 2010, led to another round of flight delays and cancellations in the British Isles.
